AboutLa Fouine or Fouiny Baby (real name Laouni Mouhid) is a French rapper of Moroccan origins, born on December 25, 1981 in Trappes, Yvelines in the Paris western suburbs. He is an established figure in French rap. La Fouine signed with Sony Music in 2003 and released his debut album, Bourré Au Son, in 2005. La Fouine released his second album, Aller-Retour, on March 12, 2007. The American beatmaker Focus produced four songs on the album. His third album, Mes Repères, was released on February 23, 2009 and has been certified double gold disc in France. His fourth, a double CD intitled La Fouine vs. Laouni, released on February 14 for Valentine's Day, was inspired by the two sides of himself, through his career and experience of his daily life. The first one, La Fouine, a character he created to "entertain people, La Fouine is very cunning, materialistic, bad boy and so vulgar ... it's not really me" said the artist. The second one, Laouni (his real name), talks about things he lived in his youth, so his rap is sincere and moving. The week of album's release, more than 25,621 copies were sold in France, a feat for a hip hop artist. He has also his own label "Banlieue Sale Music" and his own clothing line called "Street Swagg".
